Setup volley pattern

Success target: Complete the deep-then-finish pattern cleanly on 5 of 10 attempts.

How to run it

  1. 01Partner defends from the back court; you're at the net.
  2. 02Play the pattern: first volley deep to the glass (the setup), then put the second volley into the open space.
  3. 03No first-volley winners allowed — the setup must be the setup.
  4. 04Score 10 pattern attempts, then swap.

Why it works

Good volleyers don't hit winners off the first ball — they move the defender with volley one and finish with volley two.
